I remember reading some classic thread where Ron broke the traditional "GM" role apart into constituent functions/roles. Unfortunately, it appears I didn't bookmark it, and I can't remember the thread title (I doubt the analysis I'm looking for was part of the thread starting topic, more likely it was Ron's answer to an ongoing AP or theory discussion thread).Can anybody help me find what I'm looking for, from just this limited information?

Just a pet peeve: of course asking The Forge users includes asking you as well. What's your point there? O_o Also, I genuinely couldn't remember who pointed me to those threads in the past, could be you or anybody else.

BTW, it turns out that the one I had on my mind was "Park Place", and I even bookmarked it a long time ago, but wasn't able to find it in my bookmark folders anyway because I was clueless about the thread title. I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned here, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

In case you're curious… the finished essay, "There is no such thing as a 'GM'", is available for download from this link and included in the Larp Frescos, vol. II book — which you can download as well (it's half Italian, half English, with my essay found in the English section).I was waiting for a read-online version to link around, but now I'm told that (unlike last year's book, Larp Graffiti) there are no such plans for Larp Frescos — thus, downloadable PDF file it is.
